News 8 Chief Meteorologist Matt Baylow's Weather Update

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (CBS 8) - Some early morning showers and gusty winds greeted San Diegans on their way to work this morning.
For now it seems like the rains are mostly gone, but the wind is sticking around.
In this video story, News 8's Kimberly King is tracking your MicroClimate forecast, and Rekha Muddaraj reports on the rescue of kayakers in La Jolla.

Experienced kayakers "my ass". The surface wind was much too
strong before some launched (around 5am). At least that one guy had on a pfd. That reporter girl said "yellowtail",not good.

.Someone said earlier that YT makes people do crazy things..no doubt. If only someone would of told them that this inclimate weather moves fish around then they might not of challenged mother nature? At least they made it back alive..happy about that.

That reporter got it all wrong... there are no yellowtail in La Jolla.

Wow...what some will do for 15 minutes (or seconds) of fame...

Ha Billy LOL!. Those guys have iron sacks for heading out into that shit - in decmber no less. Smart, dumb, whatever - that took nads.

There aren't many "experienced kayakers" that would paddle in those conditions - let alone try to fish (pointless!). Very uncool to force others to risk thier lives and gear and spend taxpayer $$ going out in conditions you have no business in. If we kayakers ever find ourselves on the receiving end of regulations that prevent us from launching when and where we want to . . .then we will have guys like these to thank.

Could some of those who risked the elements fill me/us in on what caused the blind eye to the conditions? What was the thought process? For those who got - or were close to getting - hypothermia, were wetsuits or waders worn? Which yaks faired best in the rough water? How did paddles get lost? How long did it take from time of hailing to lifeguard's time of arrival? Any warnings/recommendations?

Much to be gained by all who read these posts if those who experienced this drama/trauma could speak up.

Thanks,

Avery
